A stormy night. A flick of cards. Three figures gather to share terrifying tales from their mysterious pasts… but a fourth stranger holds the darkest secret of all.
An evening of grisly storytelling awaits at Blind Fear, devised and performed by artists with sight loss. From a cursed rural village willing to do anything to win the county hurling final, to a mysterious antique shop where a weary health worker’s retail therapy becomes a nightmare: these chilling tales are not for the faint of heart.
Descend into darkness for this blood-curdling new show from Sightless Cinema and writer/director Hugh Hick, blending immersive audio and live performance in a richly-layered audio world. Blindfolds will be provided to heighten your audio senses.
Sightless Cinema has presented audio theatre devised and performed by people with sight loss, in collaboration with Ciarán Taylor, since 2015.
